Jakarta - Amid the Covid-19 Pandemic, Indonesia has successfully organized several national events ranging from the 2021 PON in Papua to the international level The 58th International Association Of Women Police (IAWP) Training Conference in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara. All these activities run safely, smoothly and continue to anticipate the prevention of the growth rate of Covid-19.
The National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo emphasized that the success of the national and international events would positively impact the economic growth of the Indonesian people. Of course, said Sigit, this is because it is accompanied by good handling and control of Covid-19.
"With the existence of national and international events, it will have an impact on the occurrence of economic growth in Indonesia, which will get better," said Sigit in a written statement to reporters, Jakarta, Monday (11/08).
Indonesia is still scheduled to host international events. The world-class activities include the Asian Talent Cup and the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) at the Mandalika Circuit, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).
In order to maintain Indonesia's good name in the world for having successfully organized national and international events amid the Covid-19 Pandemic, Sigit emphasized to all parties to help accelerate the acceleration of Covid-19 vaccination. So, communal immunity or immunity to the coronavirus will soon be formed.
Not only vaccination, but the former Banten Regional Police Chief also emphasized that the discipline of implementing health protocols (prokes) must still be carried out correctly.
"Of course, if we can do all of this, then Indonesia will be better in the eyes of the international community. Likewise, economic growth will be better. However, of course, the most important thing is that we can control the rate of growth of Covid-19. Once again, remind those who have not been vaccinated, do it, and follow the vaccination activities. Furthermore, those who have been vaccinated will continue to carry out health protocols," said Sigit.
In terms of accelerating vaccination and strengthening prokes, the former Police Chief of Criminal Investigation Unit embraces and invites all elements of society to unite and join hands in making this happen.
"As stated by Mr. President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), the awakening of a sense of humanity, brotherhood, and unity from all directions is a huge force that adds to the belief that this disaster will be able to be overcome together," said Sigit.
Therefore, Sigit emphasized, with the decline in the level of Community Activity Restriction Enforcement coupled with relaxation of community activities regarding the implementation of health protocols, one should not be negligent or negligent in the slightest. This is to prevent the third wave of Covid-19.
